I am a Cubs fan, Monday was my first favorite player since 74. Rooted for L.A. as a second team because of Rick Monday. I mysteriously was "sick" and home from school, just so I could watch the game. I just turned 17. Still in the top 3 all time favorite baseball memories. I have learned over the years how painful that loss was for the Expos. They were a great team. Love these old broadcasts . Ty to who ever put this up!
Notable here was Tom Seaver as an analyst. He was still an active player at the time. After his playing career ended he would for two seasons be play-by-play voice for the Yankees, ironically the team he would get his 300th win against while pitching for the White Sox on August 4, 1985 on Phil Rizzuto Day at Yankee Stadium.
38-39 degrees at the time of the homer. Ball doesn’t travel at all at that temp and just being able to grip and swing the bat is difficult to say the least... makes Monday’s homerun even more unlikely..
Dodgers won 5 elimination games that year. 5-2 when trailing in the playoffs, only 3-5 on the road, but closed out two series away, 7-1 at home. Not bad.
Was in high school at the time , I believe this was a day game , had an early schedule that day, , came home and watched the whole game , never forget it . “ Monday Monday “

Tommy Lasorda was the BEST manager in MLB. His command of Baseball confounded the other teams' managers. His decision in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, to believe the crippled Kirk Gibson's claim that he could produce a run for the Dodgers (and he produced TWO to win the game), led to one of the Top-5 Greatest Home Run moments in Baseball History. Tommy was always the Dodgers greatest cheerleader - and a Class Act all the way. We Dodgers fans lovingly called him "Tommy Lasagna".
I think Billy Martin was better strategically but Tommy was more liked by his players which is very important.(by the way I’m a Yankee fan who begrudgingly gives Billy his due because I didn’t particularly care 4 his personality).
Same here......the Dodgers honored the 1981 team today at their ballpark....40 years later. Wonder what took place at Stade Olympique today? No hard feelings toward Monday, but still feel bad for Steve Rogers. At least LA went on to beat the Yankees.
@@kenkeast8519 I don't blame Rogers. I blame Fanning for not taking him out. Ron Cey nearly hit a home run before Monday did. Bill Lee was in the bullpen. Rick Monday home run never should have happened.
@@richardhamel8439 i remember the big rain delay on SUN, then the rain stops completely, the sun comes out.. then they announce it's PPD. Am i right to say that MLB wanted the game to go Monday so the LAD can get a rested Fernando to go so that they can get a LAD/NYY world series instead of the spos. MLB did not want the expos there for the terrible ratings it would've gotten. they wanted a LAD/NYY series, which i believe drew around 40M viewers. Had it been MTL/NYY, it might've got 15M viewers. MLB screwed the expos that yr..
I have a cold, feel like shit, and I've got nothing better to do. I'm watching one of my favorite games ever...the "Rick Monday Game" as I've always called it. I remember it so well. The game got rained out on Sunday. It was game 5...the deciding game to go to the World Series against the Yankees. I was PISSED because they rescheduled the game for Monday and I had to go to school. I asked my mom if I could skip school and stay home and watch the game. She said yes. She was the BEST! We watched the game together out in the dining room where we had a little 13" color TV. Fernando was pitching. The game was brutal...low scoring. 1-1 in the 9th inning. Then one of my all-time heroes came up...Rick Monday...on Monday of course. He hit a solo homer and the Dodgers won the game 2-1 and the rest as they say...is history! The Dodgers went on to beat the hated Yankees. They haven't met since in the World Series (until tomorrow). And the Expos...they never played in the post season again. They ended up moving eventually and becoming the Washington Nationals. THANK YOU, MOM AND THANK YOU, RICK MONDAY. And thank you, Fernando and the rest of that team (obviously). What a season!
@@richardhamel8439 LOL! I suppose he would. Didn't playing more than half his games on the Astroturf outfield for several years cause some chronic damage to his knees? I think he had moved to right field by the time the Cubs acquired him. The Cubs were quite happy to have his cannon arm quelling the more aggressive baserunning teams, even if his range had been diminished so much he could no longer play center field. (I do recall the Hawk embarrassing a hitter by turning his single to right field into a 9-3 groundout.)
Agreed. Back in those days we just accepted those stadiums (which in themselves were nothing to write home about) and their ugly fields for what they were, we didn't know any better. Most likely the multi-purpose stadiums had the 'turf, whereas those that didn't (e.g. Dodger Stadium) had natural grass. Trust me, being here in St. Louis I watched many highlights and games on TV back in the 80's of Busch "cookie cutter" Stadium and its ugly, pieced-together, carpeted field...pretty similar to Olympic stadium and so many others at the time. Also, we had the football Cardinals at that time as well at Busch, thus the "multi" thing I mentioned. It's such a stark difference between then and now with stadiums, wow. Stadiums back then weren't there for visual or "fan friendly" appeal like they are now, they were there (at least in my opinion) pretty much just for whatever event was on the field, that was the main focus. I will admit, however, that even though I'm not a fan of some aspects of modern stadiums, I'll certainly take today's over back-then's any day of the week...and I'm thinking the players today would too, especially when it comes to the playing surface.
I remember this game I was a kid and I remember everything about it and the Dodgers winning was so awesome 👍😊 👍
In bed with strep throat what a joy to watch. Great memory from childhood. Thank you for posting!
Gd timing strept playoffs
If you look at Rodgers reaction, he knew it was gone as soon as it was it. I miss the Expos.
RIP Dick Enberg & Tom Seaver
And Jay Johnstone.
And Gary Carter and Tommy Lasorda
Bob Welch, Steve Howe, and Bobby Castillo too.
And Fernando 😢
You sir are a god!!!!!!! FInally i find an online version of this game WITHOUT the audio issues and the desync that others have put up
Thank you very much for your kind words, I'll forward them to TSN ;)
@@richardhamel8439 plz do
It was a great series. I was stunned when Monday hit that homerun of Rogers.
Few today know Rick Monday was the first-EVER playing taken in the Major League draft, in 1965 by the then-Kansas City A's.

And don't forget it was Rick Monday who saved the American Flag from being burned in 1976 at Dodger Stadium.

7-0 after game 3. 9-1 after game 2.
Nobody working in México that day i remember i was in school, and hapened to listen the end of the game on the school bus.
Was in high school at the time , I believe this was a day game , had an early schedule that day, , came home and watched the whole game , never forget it . “ Monday Monday “
Indeed, this game was on a monday afternoon.
This was crushing if your an expos fan. They needed Dawson hits. Didn't happen. What pitching duel this was.
I remember this heart breaking game.
Dodgers are retiring #34 this season (2023) Vive' Fernando
Great upload BTW !!!! Thank you
I was there for the the Rick Monday home run! Expos might have won if Andre Dawson had shown up...
Match tristement historique! Excellent son!👌⚾️
Rick Monday was my hero. And Fernando was so amazing.
Expos had a squad
This is so painful to watch as an expo fan… if they win this game who knows what their future Looks like.
Rck Monday hits that home run on a Monday. Sweet.
Not only disappointing, but also sarcastic. The most famous home run in Expos history, and it wasn't even theirs.

No one was stopping the LA Dodgers that season down two to the Astros,down two to the Expos, and down two to the Yankees.
MLB needs guys like Jay Johnstone.

and he pitched to Clark in '85

....and he snitched on Otis Nixon in 91
Nobody ever, EVER, called him Tommy Lasagna.
Rick, the Disc Jockey
Montreal's offense went dead cold the last 2 games.
Gotta hand it to Carter...just like in 1986, he absolutely will not make the last out of the post season.
He tried to start a rally here and 5 years later he did.
Still hurts...

Sad that no one was there to support the Expos in their biggest game in history.

This playing field has to be the ugliest baseball field I've ever seen.

@@daboys1215 in that year yes. It did do damage to Fernando and hershiser check out all their innings pitched. Do some research

The track is from the 1976 Olympics as this was the main stadium for those games.
